GULÁCSY Lajos

(1882, Budapest - 1932, Budapest)

Kalapos önarckép 1908-12 Olaj, vászon, 46 x 32 cm Magyar Nemzeti Galéria, Budapest

Gulácsy még 1905-ben - római tartózkodása idején - megfestette Verlaine arcképét, s ezzel a francia dekadens és szimbolista mûvészet iránti tiszteletét fejezte ki. 1906-ban Párizsban dolgozott, s közelrõl láthatta a századforduló elõtti francia mûvészet vívmányait. Figyelme a kevésbé tárgyias, de a logikai szabályokhoz is kevésbé kötött elõadásmódok felé fordult. A "lelkiebb", az érzelmi állapotokat követõ, a szív sugallatából fakadó mondanivalókhoz kellett megkeresnie az alkalmas kifejezõformákat. A Kalapos önarckép nagyon jól megmutatja ezt a fajta alkotói szándékot. A képmezõ felsõ harmadában a finom gyöngyházszürke és zöldes színû égboltot, az alsó kétharmadban Gulácsy alakját látjuk. Széles karimájú kalappal fedett feje, illetõleg homloka a látóhatár fölé magasodik, mintha azt jelezné, hogy gondolataival idegen tájakon, éteri magasságokban jár. A festmény egész felülete az oldott, ködbeveszõ részletek inkább sejtetõ, mint kijelentõ festõi magatartásról vallanak. A figyelmes szemlélõ elõtt azonban Gulácsy fényének külsõ és belsõ sajátosságai nagyon jól felismerhetõk és megérthetõk. A festmény történetéhez tartozik, hogy azt az 1909-es nagyváradi kiállításon megvásárolta Vágó László, s az õ Párizsban élõ fia (Etienne Vago) 1982 novemberében az MNG-nak ajándékozta, amikor a Galéria Gulácsy születésének 100. és halálának 50. évfordulója alkalmából ünnepséget rendezett.

GULÁCSY, Lajos (1882, Budapest - 1932, Budapest)

Self-portrait with Hat 1908-12 Oil on canvas, 46 x 32 cm Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest

During his stay in Rome in 1905, Gulácsy painted Verlaine's portrait in honour of the decadent and symbolic French artist. He worked in Paris in 1906 where he met the achievements of French art before the turn of the century. His attention was attracted by less objective portrayals which were not so strongly defined by rules of logic. He wanted to find a suitable expression to match emotions. "Self-Portrait with Hat" reflects the artist's purposes very well. One can see the delicate grey and green of the sky in the upper third of the picture, and Gulácsy in the lower two thirds. His head with a wide rimmed hat rises over the horizon as if to symbolize that his thoughts are far away. Details of the picture are rather vague, they are only indications but not statements. After thorough study of the picture, Gulácsy's inner and outer features are clearly visible and comprehensible.
